Texas Rangers power-hitting prospect returns to field

Joey Gallo, the top power-hitting prospect in the Texas Rangers minor-league organization, began an injury-rehabilitation assignment on Thursday with the club’s entry in the rookie-level Arizona League.

Gallo had not played since July 7, when he came out of a game with low-Class A Hickory because of a persistent strained going. The injury forced Gallo to bow out of the Futures Game, part of the All-Star Game festivities.

Gallo, 19, has 26 homers in 311 at-bats in the South Atlantic League. He had 18 homers in 150 at-bats in the Arizona League last year.
